Bruce CamdenBruce Camden has been playing guitar since 1975, but his talent is not limited to music. He is also a gifted writer, the author of many short stories and nonfictional pieces.  His debut CD "Nothing Gained" was named "local album of the year" for 2003 by Nightlife.  The track "Mouse" is from that cd.

As sideman to local blues legend "Tawl Paul" and Slappin' Henry Blue, Camden has attracted a small cult  of appreciative fans.  He is currently crafting his next CD.

Zach CatlinBorn in 1987, Zach Catlin was raised in Southern Illinois, attending public school until the 7th grade, when he began home school, graduating from Keystone National High School in May 2005.

Zach showed interest in music at an early age, beginning guitar lessons at the age of seven.  He didn't really like it much at first; for awhile he even begged his parents to let him quit, but at the age of 13, after discovering  he could make music with his guitar,  there was no stopping him. Country music was his first preference, but as he grew older be began to show interest in classic rock groups of the 1970s such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Kansas and Boston. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Neil Schon of Journey, Eddie Van Halen and The Beatles were also high on his list of artists he respected.  Using a karaoke machine to experiment with overdubbing and creating covers of songs by Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson and John Petrucci. When it became apparent that he was becoming a capable artist, his dad supplied him with computer-based recording equipment, which he used to compose, arrange and perform the composition on this CD.

Ivas JohnOriginally from Chicago, guitarist Ivas John moved to Carbondale to attend SIU at the age of eighteen, and began playing in public within his first  year. After gaining valuable playing experience with a couple of local blues bands, John settled into the Carbondale music scene more permanently alongside Southern Illinois blues legend "Big Larry" Williams. In the Summer of 2002, John was introduced to Louisville singer/songwriter David Gene Smith and formed the band Delta Fuzz, whose eclectic and original sound reflects a variety of traditional blues, rock, and country influences, and features John’s boldly expressive and tasteful lead guitar work. In addition to establishing himself as a competent player for any blues situation, John has shown his versatility as a developing jazz guitarist as well, playing with veteran jazz musicians from the area, and studying the idiom independently at SIU. When he’s not on a gig, you can find John teaching guitar five days a week at Mike’s Music center in Carbondale.
